Factors Affecting Immune Reconstitution Post‐Allogeneic HSCT in Children: The Case for an Individualized Approach to Vaccination

European Journal of Haematology, Volume 116, Issue 4, Page 336-349, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is increasingly used to treat malignant and non‐malignant diseases. Following allogeneic HSCT, patients are particularly vulnerable to vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPD) because conditioning depletes immune cells, including memory cells.

Does clinical exposure to different skin tones during training improve diagnostic ability?

Medical Education, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 410-417, April 2026.
Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that medical students demonstrate poorer performance when diagnosing pathology in skin of colour (SOC) compared to white skin (WS); it is important to understand the reasons underpinning this. If not addressed, poorer differential diagnostic ability in certain skin tones could entrench existing racial ...
